We are a hybrid, remote-friendly culture, with our company headquarters based in San Francisco. Candidates anywhere in the US are encouraged to apply.

About Us:

Ambience Healthcare is building the AI operating system for healthcare, with the mission of supercharging healthcare workers with AI superpowers.

Over the past several years, healthcare organizations and health systems have been approaching a critical turning point: workforce shortages and clinician burnout are at an all-time high, cutting into already-razor-thin margins and posing critical operational challenges. Organizations are finding themselves under immense pressure to address burnout and increase access to care, all while maintaining profitability despite declining reimbursement rates.

Until now, they have been unable to find any viable solutions to this productivity and morale crisis.

Ambience Healthcare was founded after 2.5 years of R&D in large language model (LLM) technology to address one of the most impactful productivity opportunities in healthcare: clinical documentation. The most painful part of a clinician’s day consists of hours of late-night administrative work, writing detailed documentation in the medical record for each of their visits. The contents of each medical note are critical for reimbursement, compliance, downstream clinical quality measures, and for other care team members to understand what happened to each patient.

Ambience's flagship product, Ambience AutoScribe, is a best-in-class AI medical scribe that captures the nuances of clinician-patient conversation in real-time into comprehensive medical documentation within the EMR. On average, Ambience saves 16+ hours of tedious note-taking per clinician per week. Today, AutoScribe is available across 18+ specialties and is used by clinicians at leading healthcare organizations for every single one of their shifts.

For the first time in years, clinicians are able to get home on time for dinner without any documentation homework. And as a result, they now refuse to practice without AutoScribe.

As we experience unprecedented pull from the market for our products, we’re actively expanding our team of world-class talent across sales, marketing, product, engineering, clinical, and customer success functions.

At Ambience, you’ll be surrounded by an exceptional team of A-players who are kind, humble, curious, and deeply aligned with the core mission of improving the lives of clinicians and their patients, including:

  • 2nd-time founders in healthcare who previously built a virtual care platform
  • the author of a leading deep learning textbook
  • co-founder of Cruise’s ML platform team
  • co-founder of Rev.com’s automated speech recognition team
  • Former principal architect at Palantir
  • Founder of Reddit's web platform team
  • former Head of Growth from a leading tech-enabled primary care group

The Role:

As the Head of Sales, your mission will be to take Ambience Healthcare to market and capitalize on greenfield territory in the ground-breaking AI healthcare space. This is an opportunity to sell best-in-class AI technology that is forever transforming how clinicians practice medicine. You would start with the opportunity to master the Ambience sales motion before building out the rest of the team, sales process, and strategy across 2024 and beyond.

What You’ll Do:

  • Operate as a player-coach as you build out the sales team; first excelling at the role yourself and then effectively building a team to operate an outbound sales motion
  • Hire, onboard, coach, and manage full-cycle Enterprise Account Executives
  • Establish the appropriate sales pipeline reporting mechanisms to accurately forecast revenue and manage the team accordingly
  • Build a scalable and forecastable hiring, onboarding, and training sales engine

Who You Are:

  • You have 10+ years of B2B net-new business sales experience with 2+ years of experience hiring and managing highly successful enterprise sales teams with six and seven-figure deal sizes
  • Strong preference for those with direct experience in selling 6+ figure deal size healthcare technology to leading health systems
  • You have a stand-out sales track record demonstrating sales process mastery
  • You have exceptional business acumen and possess the ability to speak peer-to-peer with the C-Suite and senior healthcare executives of leading health systems
  • You have a track record of hiring top-tier sales talent and coaching them to run a streamlined sales process with accurate forecasting
  • You have experience designing sales playbooks alongside the executive leadership team (bonus if you have experience building sales teams from the ground up)
  • You have a demonstrated ability to resourcefully drive outsized outcomes, even on accelerated timelines and with startup-level resources
  • You have the ability to lead a pre, during, and post-event and conference sales strategy

Not sure if you meet all of the qualifications? We don’t expect every candidate to have done everything listed above, but you should be able to make a credible case that you meet most of the criteria and are ready for the challenge of adding new technologies to your résumé.

Compensation:

The base compensation range for the role is: $170,000 - $220,000 based on leveling and desired cash/equity split. Philosophically, we lean towards generous equity grants so that our team truly gets to share in the impact they create.

Are you outside of the range? We encourage you to still apply: we take an individualized approach to ensure that compensation accounts for all of the life factors that matter for each candidate.
